take charge of Italian side Juventus.

season where he didn’t get along with the fans but led the club to the
Champions League and Europa League success.

Sources at Chelsea says that Frank
Lampard has signed a contract with the club that would see him take over the managerial
spot at the club.

Lampard would be returning to the
club where he won several trophies during his playing days in what would be an
extraordinary story.

services of star player Eden Hazard.

goals scored in a Blues shirt.
